'Quite right, murmured Topham, who was authorised to represent his principal to any one coming on business. 'Will you take a seat? 'You will know my name, began the stranger. 'Wigmore Abraham Wigmore. 'Very glad to meet you, Mr. Wigmore. I was on the point of sending your last batch of papers to the post. You will find, this time, I have been able to praise them unreservedly.
Mamma, you know, generally leaves her at the Priory, to take care of all the old trumpery, and show the place you know it's a show place. But I tell Colonel Topham, when I've a place of my own, I positively will have it modern, and all the furniture in the very newest style. I'm so sick of old reliques!
Whatever City Merchants had or had not done for me, Flack, Topham and old Gates had certainly barred my mistaking the profitable production and sale of lavatory basins and bathroom fittings for the highest good.
The saintly John Wesley, for instance, and the very far from saintly Topham Beauclerk, make a curious pair. Yet both of them loved and honoured Johnson all their lives and both were always loved, at any rate, by him; and the one who got the less honour got the more love.
Harold could fly kites and swim and play cricket; she could not do any of these, but she could ride. Harold should see her pony, and see her riding him all by herself.

'No, Sir; he is not malignant.
By the time that he had stepped inside, Topham also discovered the presence of the K.C. likewise engaged.

"Humph!" grunted Captain Bates. "You say Mr. Prescott was there?" "Yes, Captain."
But the English were playing dogged-does-it, and Topham on the pie-bald at full back was invincible. Nothing passed him. Nor were the English slow. Three times they seized opportunity in mid-field and rode with a burst of fiery hitting toward the Rajput goal. Three times the gunners down the line began to yell. The English team were getting together, and the Rajputs a little wild.
The True Briton, a government organ in the 1790's, which afterwards assimilated Cobbett's Porcupine. The Star was founded by Peter Stuart, Daniel Stuart's brother, in 1788. It was the first London evening paper to appear regularly. The Traveller, founded about 1803, still flourishes under the better-known title of The Globe. Este ... Topham ... Boaden. Parson Este, the Rev.
